The G Coefficient and Its Relation to R-Type Factor Analysis.
Davenport, Ernest C., Jr.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v47 n2 p349-57 Sum 1987
The G coefficient is proven to be an inaccurate indicator of latent relations and, therefore, unacceptable as a measure of association when used in R-type factor analysis. The G coefficient is useful in measuring another type of relation, the simple agreement of scores for a pair of items. (Author/BS)
